ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 8.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

A course on computational methods for microoptics and photonics.

Full description:

The course:

1. Linear systems; impulse response and the modulation transfer function - application to diffractive optics, and to the development of diffractive and holographic elements.

2. Finite difference method - various discretization schemes; boundary conditions; stability conditions;

3. Fundamentals of the beam propagation method (BPM) - application to the analysis of waveguide elements, and to the determination of the modal structure of optical waveguides.

4. Finite difference time domain method (FDTD).

5. Plane-wave decomposition method - calculation of the modal structure of photonic crystals.

6. Selected applications of numerical methods to the optics of photonic crystal, to analysis of sub-wavelength diffractive gratings, and plasmonic elements.

The exercises have a numerical character and require the knowledge of Python or some other language with similar capabilities eg. Matlab. The oral exam includes a discussion on the numerical work done during the course.
